Ascent to Valhalla 2024
My first trip up this mountain was a tough one. Planning for an overnight stay, we climbed to the saddle and set up camp. The hot, humid day was quite a shock after months in the cold Tasmanian winter, making the climb a real struggle. Thinking the sunset would be a dud, we scouted sunrise compositions, only to witness a fleeting burst of light through the clouds just before sunset.i quickely captured this moment.
Thanks a lot for the warm welcome yesterday during my #introduction yesterday !
In one day I already got more of it than the last year on instagram!!
I am not much a planer with my #landcapephotography but the only exception are event like moonrise.
I waited about 5 years from the moment i noticed this tree and the moment the condition were right. Combining a cloudless sky and full moon rising just after sunset.
My little #introduction
I am a nature #photographer and I came here seeking a meaningful community, as traditional social media never felt right for me.
I’m a based in #tamborinemountain in #Australia #Queensland.
My work focuses on landscapes, with some wildlife when the opportunity arises, showcasing my region, the #Scenicrim from lonely tree in open fields to ancient trees in the mountain’s rainforests of #Lamington
I hope you will enjoy my photos !
So, yesterday's storm looks like it hit the #GoldCoast very hard… listening to the 2m net on VK4RGC (which itself is running on batteries).
There are reports of major damage throughout the #ScenicRim and #GoldCoast council areas, with lots of areas without power… and most significantly, lots of cell sites whose batteries have gone flat.
So lots of people lacking phone access.
